I disagree, Israel has complete command and control of its own Military, and is aware that the Iranians no longer have the same command and control of their units. Tit of Tat is a child’s game. Israel should hold their side of the cease fire.

Who’s running the show in Iran right now is the question.

Tit-for-Tat is a child’s game.

It is the consistent best strategy when you have an opponent who will not abide by rules or agreements. There is nothing childish about it, other that it is simple enough in practice that even children can figure it out.

Israel should hold their side of the cease fire.

Why?

Most of the rest of the world sees non-response to aggression as weakness, and it invites more aggression. Our moral posturing on such things does not matter in the slightest way. What "they" believe is what matters, and that does not change easily.

We are not "all the same" and we do not "all want the same things". Grandly asserting that other people will behave the way we believe they "should" behave is plan for disappointment.

It is also a potentially lethal mistake.
